1
Alright folks, we pumped the brakes on this one so that we could get the Ship 40 static fire into it.
各位，我們暫停了這項工作，以便安排進行Ship 40的靜態點火測試。
2
So coming up at the end of this, expect to see some static fire from Ship 40 over at Massey's.
接下來，在本次活動結束時，大家有望在Massey場地看到Ship 40的靜態點火測試。
3
But we're going to start off this Starbase summary on June 18th over near the launch site.
4
Looks like we need to roll out and clean that camera lens off.
5
It's been hot out there.
6
This is one that's right by the road.
7
So, you know, it's a little tough to keep them clean.
8
But got a couple deluge tests going.
9
on the lower deck, I guess it's not really the lower deck, on the lower parts of the Pad 1 flame trench.
10
It's just over and over and over again.
11
We were talking about this last time and trying to get this thing ready.
12
At first it was like, oh, maybe they're just blowing out the pipes after the launch, and now it looks like they're looking at pressures or flow rates or something like that.
13
Here we've got some tanks arriving from the port.
14
Now we're over at the launch site.
15
And okay, we're going all the way around pad two.
16
to get them over to the tank farm.
17
Oh, what did...
18
X gateway to Mars.
19
It's the Gatway, the wall here.
20
They've got a bunch of scaffolding along it.
21
I wonder if they're going to come up with a new, better way to install letters on it.
22
I guess we'll wait and see.
23
Here's just a wide shot sort of looking in the gate.
24
That's pad one in the background there, and then pad two over on the right -hand side.
25
And then it looks like some concrete work there.
26
You got the tank farm.
27
Those tanks that you just saw rolling are going to be way over to the right.
28
Here, I don't know if we'll pan far enough to see them, but this just looks like some hey, A scooter?
29
Gotta like the personal protective equipment there on the scooter.
30
Ah, gosh, we cut away before the scooter went by.
31
I had more scooter commentary.
32
Good grief.
33
Alright.
34
The Orbital Tank Farm.
35
Well, that's a truck driving by.
36
TK001, one of the early stormtroopers, I guess.
37
At least it's white in that truck.
38
We've got the late night rave going.
39
This is going to be a Caesar shot.
40
Yep, it's Caesar.
41
You can tell by the colors at night.
42
Fantastic lens that Caesar uses here.
43
All green and some flashing lights over at the filling stations.
44
But let's head over on June 22nd to just a wide view of Orville Pad 1.
45
You see they've got the big crane there, that gantry sort of mount work.
46
Yes, thank you, the service structure.
47
still being assembled over on the side.
48
Remember, once all this sort of gets together, they're probably gonna use that crane to scoot it over, pick it up and move it over so it's closer to the tower.
49
Here's a crane getting hooked up to the Pad 1 ship.
50
Quick disconnect.
51
We took a little load.
52
We changed the white balance, apparently.
53
And then we disconnect it and lift.
54
Huh.
55
I wonder if they just needed to unload something.
56
You ever been working on a suspension component in a car or something like that, and you're like, God, this bolt is just bound up in here.
57
I can't get it out.
58
And if you just lift up on the component a little bit, you use a jack, you just grunk on it a little bit, it freezes it up.
59
You pull it right out.
60
I wonder if there was some massive bolt or pin or something like that, and they literally just needed to unload it a little bit so they could change something out.
61
I don't know.
62
I'm making that up.
63
That's just what it looked like to me.
64
Now here is an interesting flange on a nose cone.
65
Here in the Starbase.. oh there's somebody in it.
66
Here on Starbase summaries we bring you only the most interesting flanges welded to nose cones.
67
Looking on the inside there.
68
Now I've seen a lot of speculation on Starbase Live
69
and in the comments of the videos what the heck this thing is.
70
It sure does not look like crew's going to be crawling through it.
71
It's a little...
72
Oh, there we go.
73
Give me some light.
74
Is that an arm?
75
Man.
76
That's like one of those...
77
Stuck in a narrow cave passageway story if you try to come out of that thing.
78
It does not look like it's for a full -size docking port.
79
It is maybe for wiring or something like that.
80
I guess we'll see what else they attach to it.
81
Maybe later in the video.
82
We're using a little Marky Jig thing.
83
to mark up some tiles.
84
We've been having fun with the tile designs in the shop, by the way.
85
We just did a beach towel.
86
It's like a TPS designed beach towel.
87
Except I told the shop team that nobody's going to know what it's called if it's TPS.
88
Like, what the heck is TPS?
89
So I think it should be named Starship Heat Shield Beach Towel or something like that over in the shop.
90
I don't know if we've released that product yet, but go check the shop and tell me if we did.
91
I don't know.
92
Got some beams.
93
This is some miscellaneous work over here.
94
I'm not gonna like bag on Europe, right, for the whole heat wave, 'cause it's a serious thing, and people are literally dying to the heat.
95
But down here where we've got air conditioning, we build these massive buildings, and SpaceX has painted it black.
96
They're going to air condition the silly thing. So air conditioning is...
97
solved Science.
98
I guess you could say.
99
They'd also be better off if they painted the building white.
100
Thank you.
101
But in any event, we've got a little basket there.
102
Is that a worker or a...
103
Yeah, it's just a worker who...
104
The basket's bigger than you think it is.
105
Writing down.
106
I thought that was like a backpack leaning in the corner of the basket, but it was actually a full -sized grown man or woman, whatever, writing in the basket there.
107
We've got our favorite Cybertruck.
108
Parking lot.
109
There, see a lot of employees driving those things around.
110
Ship 40, oh, there we go, yeah.
111
Sneak up in the middle there.
112
Kaleen caught a shot of Ship 40 in the Mega Bay.
113
So that means with Ship 40, we're going to have to see Ship 40 roll out of the Mega Bay to Massey's.
114
Oh, nice.
115
Thank you, Kaleen.
116
And then we should see the static fire, and then we should see it roll back again.
117
Yeah, I guess this is a couple days ago because it's the 23rd of June.
118
But once again, got that...
119
fresh waxed heat shield look.
120
Almost as nice as the beach towels at Shop .NASA space flight.
121
Alright, I'll stop, whatever.
122
We've got an American flag there in the foreground and ship 40 coming on out. to do its roll.
123
Okay, it's already snuck out between the two mega bays.
124
It's driving up Star Remedios Road.
125
Oh, we're not supposed to use that anymore.
126
We're not supposed to put Star in front of things.
127
This is not the Star Road.
128
It's just a regular road.
129
But it's rolling in front of the mural there.
130
And it is going to take a right turn onto Highway 4.
131
and make its way out to Massey's.
132
Gonna get some close -up shots here of it.
133
A little tough at night, especially with those lights there, but let's see.
134
Got a couple of the ports.
135
Some valves as a quick disconnect sort of set up there.
136
Some little tubes that are interesting.
137
Those little trapezoidal tubes, vertical tubes.
138
Almost look like stringers, but not really.
139
They almost look like more of a raceway or something.
140
It'll be interesting to see what those things are.
141
Colleen set up on the side of the road here, and as it rolls up Highway 4, it's a bunch of blinking light Cybertrucks.
142
Then we got the, that looks like a Ford.
143
That work body truck there pulling the light kit.
144
Ah yeah.
145
Whoa!
146
Oh that was cool.
147
Wait, rewind that.
148
Did they like jack up one side of the SPMT?
149
It didn't look like a bump in the road.
150
It looked like they leveled it all of a sudden or something.
151
One of the times I wish I was allowed to scroll back.
152
Y 'all are allowed to scroll back and look at that again.
153
- Thank you.
154
Anyways...
155
Got a couple...
156
shots of this just going Bye.
157
That is a lot of movement in the shot there.
158
Yeah, it's cool though in the end.
159
We got to it in the end.
160
But now it's going to be rolling away on its way over to Massey's.
161
Now, of course, it's on the crab -looking stand there, the static fire stand.
162
They don't have to pick it up and put it on a new stand or anything like that.
163
They roll that thing all the way out to Massey's.
164
They plop it down on the static fire test stand.
165
You get the SPMTs out of the way, and they just...
166
Static fire it on that stand.
167
That's why it's called a static fire stand.
168
S -F -S.
169
Yeah, that's right.
170
Say that ten times fast.
171
Anyways, it's just more efficient than having to have a crane over there
172
and then pick it up off one stand and put it on the other.
173
Why would they build a chopstick there, but then it's a whole tower?
174
Just why?
175
Why would you do it?
176
Just put it on the stand and just roll it out there
177
and park it and static fire it and then pick it up and drive it back over on the stand again.
178
That's actually a really cool idea, the way that they're doing that.
179
Especially once they try to get to a higher cadence here.
180
Oh nice, Caesar must have run all the way up the road.
181
Because this looks like the.. have they turned into Massey's?
182
Yeah, because there's those bollards there.
183
Ah, you can tell it's a Caesar lens because look, there's like stars in the background.
184
We need to send Caesar to space.
185
Because Caesar could take Photos of the earth and photos of the stars at the same time.
186
All right, ship 40 testing, unclear if it was a static fire or an abort.
187
Wait, I don't think it was a static fire.
188
I think that was like a little flash down there at the bottom of the first test.
189
But you come back the next day, here we go, and you actually get into the single engine static fire.
190
- The first time I was in the first time, I was in the first time.
191
Very plumy.
192
just just right out over the Rio Grande.
193
There you go.
194
That's what you like to see.
195
It was north of 10 seconds.
196
It wasn't a little 2 -second static fire.
197
It wasn't a 30, 40, 50 -second static fire.
198
It was between -- I saw a couple different numbers on it, but it was north of 10 seconds is what I will say here.
199
Some ice coming off of it.
200
Nice, Colleen.
201
Got some ice breaking off the side of the tank there.
202
And this is a good sort of zoomed in shot.
203
Those trees, gosh, we need to be like five feet higher so we can see underneath it.
204
But it is all good.
205
More ice falling off.
206
Remember, you can always go down to the settings wheel, you can switch languages back over to get the ambient track,
207
the ambient track, if you want to hear the sound of the static fire, pretty sure we had some mics out for that.
208
Follow me to your next great...
209
Oh.
210
Oh, it's like a kitchen supply truck.
211
All right, well, SpaceX tweets out, Xs out, posts out that it completed a...
212
Full duration static fire...
213
for a single engine.
214
They didn't say it was successful.
215
They did say it was a single engine.
216
Then they rolled it back the next day.
217
So it was curious that they didn't actually static fire the whole set of engines.
218
What's up with just the single engine?
219
What's up with it just being just over 10 seconds?
220
So 15 seconds, I probably should have looked that up before I did the commentary, but welcome to Starbase Summaries.
221
So are they done with it?
222
Are they happy with it?
223
Is that all they needed to do?
224
Is this some new testing paradigm where they, you know, are they static -fired them enough?
225
They don't need to static -fire them more.
226
Maybe one engine is enough to show that the plumbing is working after they've all been static -fired at McGregor?
227
I don't know.
228
I guess we will see, get some more data points in the old graph and see if this is something new.
229
Is there some reason they didn't do the other engines?
230
I guess we will find out.
231
A lot of cool, gratuitous zooms here, sort of pans and tilts and looking around the different spots of the ship.
232
If you'd like to examine those in detail, you can always roll back.
233
Big thanks to Colleen and Cesar for heading out to get those.
234
So what is that?
235
That thing's not even supposed to reflect anything, and it's peeling.
236
That mural is the most difficult thing to keep in good shape out there in South Texas, with the wind and the sun and the wind, and there's more wind in any event.
237
Thank you so much for hanging out with the Starbase Summary.
238
My name's John there up at the top.
239
You might have some commentary from Martin in Dutch.
240
Big thanks to the team.
241
Ah, good times.
242
We'll see you on the next one.
243
Thanks for watching, as always.

關於本課
在這一節課中，學習者將通過觀察和模仿“SpaceX Starbase”相關影片，提高他們的英語口語技巧。此影片中涵蓋了與航空航天及火箭發射相關的術語和表達，幫助學習者在專業領域內增強他們的溝通能力。通過此練習，學習者將能夠理解複雜的技術對話，以及如何在相似的情境中進行交談。
關鍵詞彙與短語
- 靜態火測試 (static fire test) - 用於測試火箭引擎的燃燒與推力。
- 發射臺 (launch pad) - 火箭發射前的準備區域。
- 壓力 (pressure) - 與燃料流動和引擎效能相關的重要因素。
- 水箱 (tank) - 存放燃料或其他物質的容器。
- 腳手架 (scaffolding) - 提供施工或維護支援的結構。
- 個人防護裝備 (personal protective equipment) - 確保安全的穿戴裝置。
- 混凝土工作 (concrete work) - 有關建築和基礎設施建設的內容。
- 快速斷開 (quick disconnect) - 用於快速連線或斷開裝置的設計。
練習建議
在觀看此影片時，請尤其注意發言者的語速和語調。他們的表達方式較為專業且具有技術性，因此建議學習者在模仿時，可以選擇將影片分段觀看。您可以先聽一兩次，瞭解整體內容後，再嘗試跟讀。利用shadowspeaks方法，在練習時暫停影片，重複說出發言者的句子，有助於提高您的流利度和自信心。
此外，結合看YouTube學英語的經驗，建議您在影像播放的過程中關注發音和停頓。為此，可以將音量調高，確保聽清每一處細節，這樣在進行雅思口語練習時，能夠更好地把握語調和發音技巧。堅持每天進行模仿練習，感受如何在不同語境中自如表達，定能有效提升您的英語口語能力。
影片中的語法
說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：
| 結構 | 影片中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的 | being assembled · is just bound · should be named |
| 現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事 | It's been · I've seen · we've released |
什麼是跟讀法？
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
